Innovative thinking pulled from all areas of hospitality and healthcare is going to be required to continue to make the industry the best it can be moving forward. Creating an environment of trust for employees, residents, and families will be a key component of a making our communities great. In Part Two of our conversation with Hands 4 Life Founder & CEO Stacy Shewey, host Aaron Fish gets into the nuts and bolts of how Stacy's vision of a global senior living community model can and should be developed using hospitality experience as well as creating a person-centered approach that allows for trust to exist at all levels of the organization to create the best outcomes for residents.
In 2016, Hands 4Life founder Stacy Shewey traveled to Haiti as part of a mission trip. On that trip, she visited a newly constructed community that included an assisted living facility for the elderly. Witnessing first hand the tremendous need in the developing world for high-quality, compassionate care for the elderly,Stacy began a journey that would lead to the creation of Hands 4Life – one of the few non-profit missionary organizations whose primary focus is on caring for the elderly in developing nations. The need has never been greater. As nations worldwide struggle to prepare for this global ageing crisis, developing countries are particularly at risk of lacking the adequate health, housing, and other services an aging population will require. Drawing on Stacy’s experience in the assisted living industry, partnerships with established humanitarian organizations, and with a firm reliance on God’s word and His grace, Hands 4Life is committed to ensuring that our most vulnerable seniors live out their days in a safe, supportive and spiritually nurturing environment.
